Would it be fair game to call out female politicians for being fat or their flabby labbies?
If I read this reply as an honest question I would say, unfortunately yes, as long as they're doing fascist things.
If I read this reply as a gotcha attempt, I would say I am a fat man and I would say yes. Fascism is a disease of the state. People are going to die, and some people will catch strays.
The sooner we wake up to the fact that there are political problems that need to be solved the sooner we can stop doing this horrible stuff.
except people absolutely do that to women as well
anytime anyone talks about abigail shapiro they mention her "mommy milkers", and one of the biggest criticisms of terfs you’ll see is "lol they all look like old hags"
like, these women are heinous, yet people still primarily use misogyny to attack them…
If I had to guess, I think the user you replied to would agree that your example is also morally wrong and strategically counterproductive. It seems like that was their point.
absolutely, and if that’s their point, i fully agree
my point is that you can’t really say "but what if people did this to women also?" because there is no if. people do that to women, all the time
Yes if they made fun of for example disabled people themselves.
